Don't disagree, but this is why I fly CO in part. I accept the 5% headaches for the 95% reliable in comparison to the 20% headaches to go with the 80% reliable of the other majors. (In my experiences.) That 15% extra "business-as-usual" is worth the 75% more pain during the 5% problematic part.
Your cost-to-benefit analysis may differ of course.
